Sun & Ski Sports

Sun & Ski Sports opened in Houston, Texas, in 1980 and now has more than 30 shops nationwide, plus an online store. It has always been about getting people outside, and that shows in its focus on skiing, snowboarding, biking, running and water sports. The Outdoor Experts on the floor will talk you through what you need, whether you're carving your first turns or training for a marathon.

The edit leans towards outdoor and gorpcore, with sportswear alongside. Among the labels are 4ocean, Chubbies, Devil-Dog Dungarees, HUK, Connelly Skis and K2 Skates, so you can kit out for the slopes, the lake or the trail from one shop.
